I am being to think that a pre1970 cars (mine is 68 69j has different brackets. If I mounted mine as shown in the phots the radiator will sit too high. My top bracket looks the same but the crossbrace is 5/16 dia and doesn’t have a support for the radiator it is only used for holding the radiator in the vertical position via a brace back to the toolbox

Yes, you're correct the pre '70 radiators are different, with the tie bar back to the tool box.
That said, the radiator should sit on top of the mounts. Early cars didn't use bobbins and just had a rubber pad with a bolt through it

Maybe the short brackets to the chassis are fitted upside down.


.+8 Now gone for a 1800 4/4. Duratec in bright yellow.

They're not handed, so one fits upside down anyway.....

Hadn't thought of that.

As previous comment the brackets are not handed. I can either move the Chassis brackets down so that the rad can sit on the rubbers, make a “U” shaped bracket so the rubber to sit on top of it, OR leave on cotton reels with a keep wire round to prevent the rad from fallin, if the rubber fails

I have taken a photo but the file size is too big
